Fireblade

My hobby is drinking. :pirate

My hoby is fixing up an old moped. I've gotten it to run properly, so now I only need to dismantle it again and replace most of the parts. Expensive as hell, so I'll wait for a while.

I don't like hobbits.

Nature photography at a very low amateur level. I took a photo class when I was 14-15, and bought a Canon PowerShot S5IS a year ago.
Digital cameras are great in that respect, as you can basically shoot gazillions of photos, go home, look at your (or my) crappy work, delete it all and try again later. No real cost, except electricity. No chemicals, or negatives that will remind you of your lack of skill, perspective and nose for a good photo.
It's not something that I spend a lot of my free time doing. When I go walking in the woods or hills, I bring my camera. Sometimes there's something interesting to try and capture. The main purpose is, I suppose, just to have a purpose for being outdoors, something to focus on. Literally.

I've always wanted to do pornography as a hobby.

:lol:

I've been into 3D rendering for a while. But I don't have enough spare time to do all the things I enjoy, so I'm kind of new still. Especially since I've ditched Maya and gone into Blender, which means I routinely fuck up with the interface.

As for what I would do if I had the money (and thus time): skiing, modding and building/racing an electric kart.

What is the recipe for the monastery bread?  It sounds interesting.
I'm making it this afternoon.  I'll post the recipe if it goes well :)

I play tennis a lot (if you have ever seen Marin Cilic on a court, that is exactly how I look and play). And I am also into my amateur photography - just dropped a few hundred pounds on a new lens for my Canon. :wub: (speaking of which, is anyone else puzzled as to why Canon's own lenses are all so bloody slow? I can't find a sub £1000 that's f2.8, and f4 just doesn't cut it for me as i'm always finding myself in poor light or needing more extreme DoP effects)

My Warhammer 40k habit has taken a back seat recently though, I just don't have the time to paint, and that was always my favourite part of the hobby.
" SIR – I must commend you on some of your recent obituaries. I was delighted to read of the deaths of Foday Sankoh (August 9th), and Uday and Qusay Hussein (July 26th). Do you take requests? "

Now that I think about it.... these days I spend most of my free time either going to bars, learning Chinese, hanging out with my girlfriend, or reading random stuff.   :huh: 

Not sure which of those things would meet Marty's definition of 'hobby'.

Pedrito

Reading, both fiction and non-fiction works;
a lot of photography, both traditional and digital, at an amateur level;
cinema;
computer games, far less than some years ago;

Success?

Lately, it's been cooking, boating, and fishing.  Once I acquire my own gun, shooting will be added to the list.

I haven't done any historical re-enactment since I moved.  Not really sure why I haven't had the motivation.

Oh, and of course there are computer games.

Pretty right for me, too - I have obsessions that last for several weeks at a time, during which I try to learn as much as I can about the subject, and collect as much stuff as I can. Then my interest wanes and I move to another topic. You can say I'm a glutton/hoarder.

If I could name a single "hobby", it would be collecting weird/obscure movies. And weird friendships. :P
